๐Ÿ’œ Rest-Home and Hospital-Level Care at Home

10.7.2025

At Kate McLean Homecare, we believe that home is often the best place to receive care โ€” even for those who need rest-home or hospital-level support.

โ€

Many people are surprised to learn that with the right team, care traditionally provided in a facility can instead be delivered in the comfort and familiarity of your own home. Often when people are told they need rest-home or hospital-level care, they are not given the option of receiving that level of care at home. Our clients find a better outcome is care at home, in a place familiar and comfortable.

โ€

Our skilled caregivers, supported by our experienced Registered Nurse Care Manager, can assist with complex care needs, including:

๐Ÿ’œ Medication management and administration

๐Ÿ’œ Personal care, including showering, continence care, and mobility support

๐Ÿ’œ Wound care and monitoring skin integrity

๐Ÿ’œ Dementia and palliative care

๐Ÿ’œ Support for chronic conditions requiring higher-level supervision

โ€

We work alongside families and healthcare providers to ensure care plans are comprehensive and adapt as needs change. Our approach prioritises safety, dignity, and your preferences, providing peace of mind while helping you maintain independence at home.

โ€

Whether you need a few hours of support each day, overnight care, or 24-hour care, we can tailor a package that meets rest-home or hospital-level care standards โ€” without the need to move into a facility. If you would like to explore how homecare could replace or delay a move to a rest-home or hospital-level facility, please get in touch. We are happy to discuss what is possible and provide clear, honest guidance on how care at home can work for you or your loved one.
